Adobe Makes Flash Crawlable

nickull wrote in his journal that "Today Adobe systems made an announcement that it has provided technology and information to Google and Yahoo! to help the two search engine rivals index Shockwave Flash (SWF) file formats. According to the company, this will provide more relevant search rankings of the millions pieces of Flash content. Until now, developers had to implement workarounds for exposing text content used in Flash to search-engine spiders and other bots such as using XHTML data providers. While the Flash content is exposed, it is not yet clear how it will be utilized by the search engines, as they have not revealed their algorithms. The SWF specification is openly published."

    LETTER TO THE PEOPLE WHO ARE ASLEEP:

    If people stopped paying taxes and voted for wesley snipes for president, maybe the people would once again rule instead of a separate government represented by fat apes who sell out to corporations and big Pharma.

    Maybe one day WE the people will be in charge, but for now, you're fucked slaves who repeat the lie, "Only thing certain in life is death and taxes!" No, only death and slavery, and slavery itself is a form of living death.

    You hate the war in Iraq?
    Hate puppet dictatorships being propped up by your government?
    Hate the immoral and unjust war on drugs?
    If you're paying taxes, YOU are aiding and abetting crimes you don't agree with, posting on your blog or shaking your fist in the air at rallies does nothing, YOUR money continues to support IMMORAL actions (if you believe them to be immoral).

    Recently I heard a report about America losing the war against taliban opium poppy growers. There's a simple and cheap solution to this problem: The American government should tell every American farmer they must grow opium poppies, and encourage American citizens to do likewise, to sprinkle the seed everywhere. But they won't do it, why? Because this would cut the profits from big Pharma for their overpriced pain medications, some of which are dangerous to your liver! Instead you could go right to the source and use what nature has given us, but no, in the land of the free, THAT would be ILLEGAL! You must instead decide to beg for a pain reliever to the point man (your doctor) who will then decide whether or not you're allowed to have it, and then you're on file with the big pharma protection agency. If everyone in America was told by the government to grow opium poppies, or just farmers, imagine what would happen to the so-called crops in other countries going to terrorists? The demand would fall flat and the prices would plummet, bye bye extra cash for the bad guys!

    IT IS ALL BULLSHIT, you know it, I know it, but when you pay taxes, you continue to fund the bullshit.

    But if you stop paying taxes, you'll probably end up in jail, where non violent marijuana smokers/growsers end up getting pounded in the ass by violent gang members and your anus being filled with diseased gangland semen. This is your land of the free. Be sure to wave to the helicopters flying over your house with FLIR checking to see if you're growing marijuana to take away from crooked Law Enforcement income, the failed war on drugs, war against nature, wave to the drones looking for evil marijuana in the forests and other areas, wave to the DEA as they bust marijuana care clinics, wave to your flag made in a communist country.

    But you don't care, it's another night of (entertainment choice) before you're off to work again to make more money to pay your slavery tax.

    Enjoy your worthless life, you'll be forgotten, but the history of illegal actions taken by your government, which you payed into, won't.

    You're all on par with scared chimps in a cage clicking the crack button for another hit.
